| dc.description.abstract | This study sought to examine the effect of employee authentic leadership style on
employee engagement in public secondary schools of Murang’a County in Kenya. A
survey research design was employed. The target population was 3,860 teachers.
Systematic random sampling followed by use of random numbers were applied to
sample 368 respondents in 306 Public Secondary Schools. Data analysis was carried
out using descriptive statistical methods that provide measures of central tendency like
the mean, standard deviation and percentages to describe the characteristics of the
variables of interest in the study. The inferential statistical tools applied in this
research were correlation analysis and linear regression. Statistical Package for the
Social Sciences software (SPSS) version 23 was used to assist in data analysis. The
result showed that authentic leadership had a positive significant effect on employee
engagement and its dimensions. Based on the findings of this study, it was established
that using authentic leadership style could enhance employee engagement. This study
contributes to the general understanding of leadership behaviors that are significant in
encouraging employee engagement to both practicing and aspiring school leaders and
teachers, and professional educator preparation programs. | en_US |
